Course news

Drainage Channels Going In

After an amazing summer planning for the winter is now on the agenda for the greens team. This week they have been adding more drainage channels on the course and in some bunkers. The channels are dug out and filled with fine stone to aid water flow under the surface as opposed to on top of it.

We try and do around a mile a year… every little helps as they say.

Please note if your ball goes on these they are GUR.

Night Golf Is Back

Night Golf at CMGC is always a big hit. Last year over 100 played therefore John and Ange Gaskell are organising it once again. It is on Friday 26th Octoberwith a shot gun start at 7.30pm, all equipment is supplied so the only thing you need to bring is your clubs. The cost is just £20 per person including prizes, food and all lighting/glow equipment.

If you would like to sign up, a £10deposit is required and the balance is to be paid on the night. You can sign up by calling the golf club on 01299 271112.

This year they are also asking everyone who enters to bring one commercial firework. Whilst out on the course Graham and Christian will be setting the firework up for a display after the golf.

Any surplus money made will go straight to the charities.

What is Night Golf? A shortened course is made up on one of the nines at CMGC with glow stick lighting the course up. You then have golf balls with glow sticks in them that that glow through the night sky. It is great fun and not to be missed out.

Ian Dennis Charity Day

Calling all members and visitors. The annual Ian Dennis Charity Day is once again been held on Saturday 6th October. Ian was a member of CMGC however was sadly taken from us before he was even 50 years old! His friends and family now hold this event and raise money for charities he supported.

The cost is just £10 to members and £25 to visitors. Fantastic prizes are up for grabs and of course the awesome trophy. The day will be raising money for the Midlands Air Ambulance.

If you would like to enter a team please contact us here and we can advise on tee times.

Triple Dutch is Back

By now you should have had an email about the 2nd year of Triple Dutch. I would urge everyone to get involved as it is an amazing day. There are a couple of rules

* If you play you must stop for the meal and presentation after play. * You must wear orange.* £5pp going to the junior fund.

The reason for this event is that 20 years ago we had a young golf professional Marcus Knight at CMGC who was offered a job in Switzerland. He then landed the Head Professional position at one of Switzerland’s most exclusive and elite golf clubs, Golf & Country Club Schönenberg. While working at Schonenberg Marcus became great friends with long standing member Henk Stheeman.

Marcus invited Henk over to CMGC and he immediately fell in love with our beautiful course and the friendly and relaxed manner in which CMGC is managed, he also developed a taste for Robinsons Cider, something you don’t find in Switzerland. Henk has three daughters who all play golf Jessica, Natalie and Emilie who have also visited and played CMGC.

Sadly in 2016 Henk passed away and during the Summer of 2016. Henk played his last ever game of golf not at Schonenberg, but at CMGC!

The three daughters contacted us earlier in 2017 to say that they had been talking about his love of golf and his affection for CMGC. The girls then suggested that they would like to host a celebratory golf day, including a meal, a glass or two of his favourite tipple and invite all the friends and acquaintances who had made him so welcome at CMGC.

The event in 2017 was a fantastic success and Henk’s family loved it so much they wanted to do the same again in 2018 and 2019 to make it a true Triple Dutch.

Prizes will be for the highest point scorers.

Note: if tied it will come down to the biggest win in the singles and so on through the matches over the weekend.

Get ready for winter

Our friends at Wyre Forrest Woodcraft are already thinking of winter and have an awesome deal for anyone that has a log burner. They are now selling firewood nuggets at £5per sack or for those that may want to bulk buy we are selling 60 sacks for £240 with free delivery within a 15-mile radius.

Myself, Tom, Boris and Graham all use these on our log burners and they are fantastic. Hardly any waste, give off great heat and they don’t burn super quick. Try one bag for £5 you won’t regret it.

Pressure putts

With the Ryder Cup coming up next week, we can expect plenty of tense moments, particularly on the greens. You’ll probably notice that players on both sides will have the ability to hole out under huge amounts of pressure – who can forget Ian Poulter’s clutch putt on the 16th green at Medinah in 2012?

Find a putter you can trustTo replicate these kind of putts, whether that's in the monthly medal or playing for money with your friends, you need to choose a flatstick you can trust.

Why not try out one of Scotty Cameron’s Futura putters? The current range involves several high-MOI mallets with tour-proven shapes, as well as improved alignment features and feel.

Some of the best players in the world, such as Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, have Scotty putters in the bag, so you can be sure you’ll be in good company.

Choosing the right golf ball for your game is crucial to getting the most out of your time spent on the course. Luckily, Titleist has covered all bases and can provide you with a range of premium golf balls - Pro V1, Pro V1x and the brand new AVX – of which one will be best suited to your game.

The AVX is perfect for golfers who prioritise distance and extremely soft feel with a piercing, low ball flight, and has been engineered to be the lowest spinning and softest feeling golf ball out of these three models.

The Pro V1 is designed to provide total performance for every player and deliver consistency on every shot. It is softer than the Pro V1x and has a penetrating ball flight that sits between the other two models on show.

The Pro V1x gives you the highest launch of these three balls, resulting in extraordinary distance from the tee. As with the Pro V1, this ball features Titleist's renowned Drop-and-Stop greenside control.
